• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you realise that Prof. Olweny has raised that point of order in order to make his presence felt in this House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, last week on Wednesday, we spent the whole day discussing the composition of hon. Members in the House Business Committee.

• 29 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Nile Treaty does not forbid us from using the waters of Tana River. Some of the people who are dying live near the banks of Tana River. How can one say we are not wasting time? Why can we not think about using those waters, so that our people living near such water bodies do not die of hunger? view

• 22 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek the protection of FORD(P) by the Chair. FORD(P) is a Parliamentary party, but some Members do not recognise it as such.
